Librarians offer in-depth research help.
During library open hours, ask at the main desk for help finding what you need. The desk is usually staffed by student workers - if you have in-depth research questions, just let them know that you want to meet with a librarian.
Click on the Ask a Question tab on the right side of a library web page. It will bring you either to live chat, or to a place where you can leave a message.

Keep in mind that non-scholarly and/or non-peer reviewed material may appear in Google Scholar, so it is best used in conjunction with other search tools. Google Scholar is not transparent about the journals or time ranges it indexes, and publishers occasionally request that Google Scholar not index their publications.
Like other Google search products, Google Scholar starts with a basic search blank. You might need the results of more specific searches - access the Advanced Search via the expansion menu on the left side of the page.
Log in to a Gmail account in order to save citations into a Google library as you find them. You can organize the citations in your library by creating labels and saving the found citations under the correct label.
